+<title>Creating passwd and group files</title>
+<?dbhtml filename="pwdgroup.html" dir="chapter06"?>
+
+<para>In order for the user and group root to be recognized and to be able to 
+login, there needs to be an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file. 
+Besides the group root, a couple of other groups are recommended and needed by
+packages. The groups created below aren't part of any standard.
+The LSB only recommends a group bin with GID 1 to be present besides 
+group root. Other group names and GID's can be chosen by the user. Well
+written packages don't depend on GID numbers but just use the group
+name, so it doesn't matter which GID a group has. Since there
+aren't any standards for groups the groups created here are the groups the
+MAKEDEV script (the script that creates the device files in the /dev
+directory) mentions.</para>
